What’s people’s take on Pribula?

[winonsports]

That data does not say he sucks, even the cherry picked data you laid out. I do understand message boards thrive on hyperbole though so it’s no surprise to see someone parrot that language on topics with which they are unfamiliar.

Do you understand that these message board exaggerists are not interested in the data?

They are just hoping some fool keeps responding.

I'm not quite sure about a Penn State reject for QB in the SEC. Their starter sucks, and he couldn't beat him out? I guess we'll see in 5+ months.

I’m not quite sure you are aware of Drew Allar’s standing in the scouting community.

There were people who had Allar ranked as a first round QB before he announced his return. That was before “scouting season” this winter/spring so no guarantees but he is no pushover. Here is a yahoo article from this week that has him as the #2 QB behind Manning for 2026 and mentions he may have been a first rounder this year.

https://sports.yahoo.com/article/2026-n ... 37608.html

Did you watch him play last year against the better teams in the B1G last season and postseason? Or see his stats at least? He had fewer than 200 yards passing 7 times and more than 250 twice, against nonexistent Ds vs. USC and Kent. And he threw 3 INTs against USC. Did you see how badly he stunk against ND in the CFP? 12-23 for 135 yards, 0 TDs and 1 game-losing INT. And against Ohio State? 12-20 for 146 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT. Against Illinois? 15-21 for 135 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTs. Against Oregon? 20-39, 226 yards, 3 TDs, 2 INTs.

He's at best a game manager who comes up small against better competition and in the biggest games. Check out a Penn State fan forum, and see what many think of Allar. His game-losing INT vs. ND in the CFP did not surprise them.

Now I'm hoping Pribula is a lot better than Allar. We shall see.

Yes, I did. As did the people who scout players for the NFL draft and those who write articles like the one I shared. I’m simply sharing a small window into the industry view of Allar to demonstrate that he does not in fact suck. You are free to side with the fan forums of the world as a basis of forming opinions, but there are more measured and unbiased views out there.

I'm free to side with the data on him. I laid that out for you and I guess you just ignored it. Again, he's a game manager at best who comes up small against the better competition. I showed you the data. So scouts like him. I don't know why. Perhaps on measurables but not on performance.

Whatever, he is not our problem. And I hope the guy we got is a lot better.

That data does not say he sucks, even the cherry picked data you laid out. I do understand message boards thrive on hyperbole though so it’s no surprise to see someone parrot that language on topics with which they are unfamiliar.

Fair enough, but I have found a lot of Penn State fans to be quite knowledgeable. And I obviously exaggerated when I said he sucks. He's actually decent against the lesser competition. And I know the NFL is big on measurables, and he's 6'5, 235 with a big arm. Kind of like why Gabbert got drafted in the 1st round. But that pick he threw against ND was inexcusable with 33 seconds left in a tie game. He also did not complete 1 pass to a WR in that game. I think his elite TE was a security blanket for him in a lot of games. Not that I blame him for throwing to him a lot because he caught everything in the neighborhood.

I guess we'll see how he does his senior year and whether he can be better against the better teams. And it will be interesting to see what he does in the NFL. My guess is that he'll end up as a decent backup, like Gabbert did.

On to Pribula. I'm really looking forward to seeing what he can do. And I shouldn't have dissed him as a Penn State reject. That's unfair. The kid will get his shot.

I can't wait for football now that hoops is over. Still have the Cardinals and Blues to pass the time until then.

Cheers!

Agree on all fronts, Allar is a project right now but he is the kind of project NFL teams tend to invest in.

And hopefully in hindsight he ends up the 2nd best QB on Penn State’s 2024 squad.

Beau is a solid passer for outs and slants but he didn't get plays called on go routes so no one has any idea. What I did notice in looking at all his reps was he makes better decisions on when and where to run than Brady did. Often Braden if on keeper plays up gut would still run it even with a DT or lber right in front of him and I never saw Beau doing that at all.

from reading PSU forums allar was the guy from getgo and he was never given opp to replace him as All the scouts raved about allar but I didn't see him as being anything but ordinary and with touch on long go routes. but that wasn't a big part of their offense, lots of slants, outs and dump offs to TE.

Plus just because he got big NIL deal Horn looked good in spring throwing and if your Moore and Drink you will play the guy who gives you best chance of winning. Hopefully that will be settled in fall camp.

as always we won't know diddly until September and after KU game.

It took two pages for someone to accept reality.
We got a (good?) 2nd string QB in the portal not the QB1 that we wanted/needed. The real question isn't what Pribula can do but why can't Drink recruit a (bleep) QB1. Maybe Zollers is that guy but it ain't this year.

[acco40]

My view? $1,500,000 for a backup collegiate QB is phenomenal. Congratulations Beau!

[winonsports]

As always Mizzou fans are told to wait until the positive happens.

That allows the trolls to outline any negative, slight possibility and focus on that, because after all, the real fans can't definitively state it will.

No, I’m quite certain the real question in the thread titled “What’s people’s take on Pribula” is what is your take on Pribula and what he can do.

[woofy25]

We're basically going to become Iowa's offense. Watch the WR recruiting dry up quick.

hahahahahaha. um, no

He can run. No proven ability to throw medium to deep passes. Eliah won't trust him to throw them and will go next on the run have work nothing but short passes. Marquis Johnson and Kevin Coleman won't need to worry about getting deep, well maybe as a decoy. So, as I said, Iowa.

Have any proof otherwise?

He has no proof it will, but that won't stop him from his troll appointed duties.

Funny though because he is a poster who likes to say it hasn't happened, so it won't.

Well. They got one of the best receivers and running backs in the portal. Their presumed starting QB scores 14 points in the second half against Wisconsin. Granted, there is very little sample size with Pribula. But there is certainly no evidence Mizzou declines to an Iowa level offense. Is this how you react between starting QBs all the time? The overreaction is hilarious.

[jcgmoi]

It's not just Missouri among SEC teams who will be breaking in a new QB this season. Off the top of my head, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, Auburn, Ole Miss, and Kentucky will start new signal callers too and I probably missed some. Where does Pribula fit in the spectrum from, say, Arch Manning to whoever Kentucky rolls out there?

Right? I was born 40 plus years too early.
